W.H.E.W A Sister Circle

I am in the grass roots process of creating my very own Sister Circle! No words can describe the excitement I have about all the possibilities of this group! Okay...Okay... let me start at the beginning. Here goes...

About a year ago (after going through a rough period with my son's father) I evaluated my life. I was in a city (about 300 miles from my family) with a young child to support and no immediate family to lean on. I was lost mentally and my life was headed in a downward direction. I turned to alcohol and men to ease the pain I felt deep down in my soul. I hit rock bottom and came to the realization that God was the only one who could truly save my soul and restore my life. He slowly began to piece my life back together. I eventually moved out of my (then) boyfriend's house and got my own apartment. That was the best thing that could have happened to me. I began to learn more about myself and came to the realization that I didn't need companionship in my life and it would better benefit me to get to know myself better instead of relying on a man.

Cutting the story short... I began to confide in close friends and soon figured out that they were going through similar issues in their own lives. Here I am a year later, a completely different woman and I can definitely empathize with women going through their own crisis in life. I talk to countless women daily consoling them and reassuring them they can change the outcome of their lives (as I did). I also equip them with the necessary tools to do it and keep it up themselves. Then it hit me! A Women's Support Group! Thus, the idea was formed.

What is a Sister Circle? I Sister Circle is a group of women who convene in support and fellowship for whatever issues they have in common. Different groups represent different things. I birthed W.H.E.W.

What is W.H.E.W!?
W.omen H.elping E.mpower W.omen- The mission of the group is: To unite women from all walks of life into a Sisterhood that focuses on empowering each other to realize and utilize their full potential in every aspect of their lives. Our goal is to secure and maintain the balance of our physical, mental, and spiritual lives as singles, parents, and/or wives through each other. Our vision is to create an environment where women can aid in raising the bar for each other's respective expectations for their lives. The purpose is to meet monthly in Sisterhood while sharing experiences and advice while also absorbing it from each other.

I recruited friends, and co-workers to aid me in getting this off the ground. I know (with all the wonderful personalities) we will definitely all be able to sponge off of each other while helping through experience from our own lives. I want this to eventually skyrocket into a non-profit organization that aids young women in knowing the importance of femininity and self worth. The possibilities are endless... Trips, conventions, volunteer work... I am too ready!

I am so EXCITED about where this is headed! Our first meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, May 6th, 2006! I will keep you posted on how it turns out.
